AI in Pharma CRM

Artificial Intelligence in Pharma CRM – jointly developed, practically implemented

Digitalization in pharmaceutical sales has long become reality – and with it, one topic is increasingly coming into focus: Artificial Intelligence (AI). But what can AI actually achieve in Pharma CRM? How can technological possibilities be meaningfully integrated into daily routines – in a way that balances security, data protection, and practical value?

Pharmakon is pursuing this path together with its clients – relying on an approach that prioritizes not only technological aspects but also ethical, practical, and data protection requirements.

From idea to application – AI with substance

Under the leadership of Tengo Schönecker, a scientifically based study on AI in Pharma CRM was conducted in collaboration with IU International University – with a focus on the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) in sales and marketing contexts.

As part of this research:

• expert interviews were conducted,

• prototypes were developed and tested,

• and refined based on feedback from real users in the pharmaceutical field.

The objective was clear: no technological gimmicks, but AI that offers concrete support – while maintaining data security, anonymization, and practical applicability.

The result: an AI module that empowers the field force

The first AI-supported module from Pharmakon has now been successfully integrated into a client project. It is available both in the mobile CRM PharmaPilot and in the online version of the Pharmakon CRM platform.

The application supports pharmaceutical sales representatives in:

• targeted preparation for customer appointments,

• receiving tailored recommendations for next steps,

• automatic identification of relevant customer segments.

Data sovereignty always remains with the client. The AI components can be operated either through local hosting or via securely integrated cloud solutions – depending on the company’s infrastructure and preferences.

Innovation with a sense of proportion – made for medium-sized businesses

Medium-sized pharmaceutical companies in particular often find themselves between pressure to innovate and limited resources. Our response: CRM solutions with integrated AI that don’t aim for flashy effects but deliver real added value – usable, scalable, and secure.

We believe that modern CRM systems don’t have to follow every trend – but should above all do one thing: support people in their work.

That’s why our AI development is not a finished product, but an ongoing dialogue with users: What works? What doesn’t? What is needed?
